Terry, Here in NJ, I have a customer that purchase a 5 year old C7 from a yamaha dealer two years ago for $24,000 (the piano was used by Yamaha's concerts and artists as a rental and was in excellent condition). I believe a new one lists for somewhere around $52,000. I imagine there are members of this list that can give you more precise numbers. Why don't you take a look at: http://www.pianomart.com see what other people are asking for that piano. Good luck John Gunderson, North Jersey Chapter Farrell wrote: > Hi List.
